Dragqueen Pork Buns

I need to tell you about my incredible weekend. My roommate is out of town so I had to find my other friends and take a break from the usual drinking dancing weekends. On Thursday I went to The Pound which is this weird big open mic club down the street from me (where you can smoke inside omg). It's cool because NOTHING else is down the street from me. I just live next to tons of antique shops. Anyway it was OK there were a bunch of hobos singing. 
The best worst part of this was that I finally started talking to guys again and I was talking with this guy for a long time and then of course I brought up Ed Gein the serial killer and was telling him all about Ed Gein's life story and murders. And this guy was just like "You're one disturbed individual" and walked away. I ROOL. 

Friday I called my friend Eun Ji (Korean songstress) and we met up and were eating cheesecake and cider on St Denis trying to figure out what to do and then somehow I pinpointed EXACTLY what I wanted to do which never happens. Go to a dragshow. I'd never even been to a dragshow but somehow I knew that's all I wanted to do.  We didn't even know where to find a dragshow but figured it would be on St Catherine East and walked that way and somehow we ended up at THE drag club of Montreal not even knowing it called Chez Mado. It was AMAZING. Fucking incredible. I wish I knew I was going to a dragshow though because I would have been so glamorous but I looked like a lesbian librarian again. I just wanted to know the dragqueens in real life but I guess all straight girls who go to dragshows do. It made me really happy anyway and then Eun Ji and I ate McDonalds and walked all the way back to my house. 

Eun Ji slept over and then knocked on my door on Saturday morning. It was POURING rain but I really wanted to go outside. I actually wanted to walk to China town and eat pork buns. So we suited up  with our super shitty umbrellas. On the way there a 10 YEAR OLD checked me out. Literally. It was the scariest thing. Anyway it took us a really long time and my umbrella kept going inside out and we were soaking. We got to China town and I bought a pork bun and then we ate Pho. It was so nice to be all warmed up. Then we started walking down the street and I decided I needed a new umbrella. We stopped at this store where an old Quebecer man was standing outside. He asked Eun Ji "Are you Chinese?" and she said "No, are YOU?" and he said "I HOPE SO." And then he pointed at me and said "She is prettier than she (pointing at Eun Ji)" and then it got really awkward and we went inside. I bought a fur hat and a new umbrella. At this point I looked like such an Amazon-Canadian-Trooper woman. I was wearing this orange turtle neck and purple skirt, big black boots, a green ankle length jacket with a fur hood, a fur hat, and I had a red plaid umbrella. It is hard to explain but I really looked crazy. So then a group of Hell's Angels walked by (they rool this city)  and were staring at my sweater tits as we walked towards a Chinese doctor for Eun Ji to get her Singaporean cough syrup. We walked through the Old Port and along the canal and then got home warmed up our feet. 

Later we split up and I went to Anya and Jake's house. It was good. Anya is this half indian half jew who looks a lot like me and loves meat and excess too. Jake is this super skinny gay boy from Iowa who I spooned with last weekend. Dan is Jake's boyfriend who is also super skinny and they were wearing matching PJs. We talked about Celine Dion and drank a dead German man's 30 year old Kirschwasser (cherry liquor). I slept over in an insanely comfortable bed that used to be an old Chinese man's bed. This morning as I was walking to the metro I realized that every 3rd lamp post had speakers on them and they were playing some song. The whole town of Verdun has that! It's so amazing. While walking home a van started backing up as I was walking behind it and that really pissed me off for some reason so I hit the van with my umbrella. THAT is not something I would do. I am going crazy. I am a bitter old woman.  Anyway, now I'm here. Gonna take my pills, brush my teeth, get naked and watch A&E biographies on youtube hell yeah.
